Woodpecker - the smallest of the woodpeckers
Woodpecker
(Dendrocopos minor)
family: infantiles
Body length: 14-16 cm. Our smallest woodpecker species, the size of a sparrow. The whole color is colorful. The top of the body has transverse stripes, the tail is black with white side rectrices. The underside of the body is cream, finely streaked, without red on the undertail, which distinguishes it from other variegated woodpeckers. The male has a short red cap on his head, which the female does not have. The woodpecker, as the weakest species of woodpecker, prefers trees with soft or rotten wood, both for feeding and for carving holes. It often penetrates thin branches that are avoided by larger woodpeckers.
